Give the dream space to grow into what it IS [Weekly Dream Status Report]
On Fridays I do these "Dream Status Report" prompts to help me have more clarity, momentum and groundedness on my path.
There are journaling sheets for doing this! These are available for everyone, not just membership members. Download them here.
I've been mentioning them every week, but I still want to start with a little plug for: Habits Upgrade + Structure, Habits Routines in the membership.
Every week I am a little more settled into new habits that really work for where I am now (which are so different from the habits I started this year with!) and I continue to be so grateful.
This week surprised me.
On Monday I was planning and doing some Year of Hope journaling and... I got the idea to ask hope how it wanted me to plan my week.
Hope was immediately SO CLEAR AND SURE.
Hope wanted me to focus on one particular thing instead of the two main things I wanted to focus on.
"Get it done!" Hope said.
I thought that wasn't really possible to get it DONE, even if I put the other project aside for a week.
But I thought I'd give it a try and... I got it done!
Somehow hope could see what I couldn't: that working on the two projects at once was making things harder for me.
This is NOT always true.
And sometimes even when it is true, we don't have a project we can just put on hold.
But this week, I could put the other one on hold and it did work and WHOA. I am so happy with the work I did and that I have so much space this week for the other project.
I keep learning how to work within my current capacity, which is smaller than it's ever been.
Or... it FEELS smaller than it's ever been. I think it's just CHANGING.
So much is changing in my relationship with productivity.
I am still taking this course with Dra. Rosales Meza and doing a lot of re-thinking around decolonizing how I do things. While I have been intentionally working on decolonizing my work since 2016, there are still so many layers to it, especially in how I treat myself, my creativity and my productivity.
I am VERY excited to be exploring all of this.
How do I feel about this/What am I learning: I feel like I am making space to go DEEPER into the Creative Dream Incubator. Dream Book 2026 is going to be such a sturdy container for holding space for the ALCHEMY of dreaming, that I am going to surprise myself with what I dream of next.
What do I need now: To remember that STAYING INSIDE MY CAPACITY is actually a magical thing, not a punishment for arriving at middle age, which is how it has felt at times. There are new things becoming possible here and I am just starting to see them.
What does my dream need now (using the Dream Lab alchemy process): It asks me told on tight, it's taking me on an adventure.
Taking all of this into account my focus for next week is: Hold on to the dream, let go of my ideas about what it even is. Give it space to grow.
